Rest assured, this isn't a poll or an attempt to stir up controversy on the forum, lol! I was simply wondering if you knew any young fans (let's say between 15 and 25 years old!) of Rock/Folk music who are lucky enough to know NMA and who really appreciate their music, their recent albums and/or their older ones. I should clarify that I am talking about the music essentially...the melodies, the rhythms, the voice, the instruments...not the lyrics and the production of the albums. I'm writing this because while I sometimes see young people in the audience at NMA concerts (in France -I'm clarifying because I've never been to an NMA concert abroad-) , a good portion of the crowd seems to be in their forties and fifties (as for me, I'm 47 and I first listened to the band in high school, in the mid-90s). In the small Rock concert venue in my smalltown (population under 50,000), it's the same when I go to see indie Rock (and Folk) concerts; both local and foreign alternative bands, the audience is mostly in their forties and fifties. So it's not unique to NMA, but Rock/Folk music seems to "speak" primarily to "old" people :)
